| I think it's criminal that society allows people to fall into circumstances where they become homeless and/or hungry, to the point where they're desperate enough to need to steal to eat. "Criminal behavior" is a construct of human society. Morality is, too, for that matter. I have no problem with someone stealing food to survive. Hopefully they are able to do so without harming anyone else. If someone does get harmed, I won't hold the thief blameless, but I also can't find it in my heart to condemn them, either. > The consequences of propagating lawlessness are far greater than starving to death. That's a false dichotomy. > Unless, of course, you have a self-centered point of view and/or no principles. That's absolutist, no-true-scotsman, ad-hominem nonsense. > If you have a problem with the way the world works, there is always a non-violent course of action to take to change it. Earth's long history would seem to disagree with you, as much as I genuinely do wish you were right about that. |
